    Conflicts and collisions between tradition and new things, love songs in children's mouths, singers singing shirtless, tightrope walkers on demolition houses, and heroes in TV sets and the Three Kingdoms... There are no absolutes in the movie. Some of the good people are only victims of UFOs in the sky, houses that rise like rockets, a bit of magical realism, and "tobacco, alcohol, tea and sugar" narrated in sections, but can't tell what the intention...

    Expanded my knowledge of Chinese films (it's so easy to expand). The figurative natural ecology and the abstract social ecology seem to have been stitched together in the close-up view of the ten-dollar close-up; the deep sense of the nation appears and disappears in the inadvertent sway again and again; the question of cause and effect of the existence of family relations in name only , and obtained natural and rich answers in the two searches. In the Three Gorges, people from more upstream...

    Sections are divided into sections. Everyone identifies the scenery on the banknotes. The wife abandoned by her husband drinks some tea abandoned by her husband. The wife who is cherished by her husband eats a piece of candy that her husband cherishes. [Xiao Wu] [Platform] [Ren Xiaoyao] The feeling of burning all five inside, it is said that this era is obviously closer to me? Why is there such a gap? not...

    Jia Zhangke should be a domestic director who can do both the Spring Festival Gala and the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games at the same time. The use of popular Chinese cultural symbols is extremely accurate. Italian neorealism is also walking in the ruins of the city, while Lin Qiang's soundtrack and Yu Liwei's photography have an upside-down approach to surreal scenes and realistic scenes like disinfection and blasting. It is very meaningful to compare the records of the images of the...

    Persistence may be hope, but it may also be torture....

    I'm not sure if this is Jia Zhangke's transformation or a test of the water, just like the violent sandstorm in the northwest suddenly turned into a turbulent deep water in the southwest. The Three Gorges has become the most ironic project after the founding of the People's Republic of China. Those who dared to vote against and abstain from voting will surely be recalled by the awakened Chinese people one day, but whether this right collapsed suddenly or gradually disappeared, you don't...

    With a lot of backlit shooting, the outside world has become a big white curtain, and the distance is confusing. Fengjie people in the demolition ruins stick to it like silhouettes. Why did he come to find his wife after 16 years, and the plot account of digging coal and being almost buried alive was omitted, and it was handled very well. Han Sanming's chapter is obviously better than Zhao Tao's. Zhao Tao's thread is to pull out the structure of power and violence, another form of Fengjie. But...

    The houses in the county town are about to go into the water, the tail tower has already flown into the sky, and there is a person hanging between the sky and the earth. In the movie, men are looking for women, women are looking for men, the future is looking for the past, the illusory is looking for the truth, and the absurdity of life is connected with tobacco, alcohol, tea and sugar. Reality and even surrealism, in the end I even added Han Sanming's...

    89/100, if the early section chief was recalling and "heating", then the 2006 section chief was recording and "preserving freshness". Han Sanming's unique "insensitivity" and the rapidly disappearing Fengjie County are a natural contrast. Fast and slow collide with the absurd and surreal in modern society, so things such as UFOs and flying houses have become commonplace. Come on. The search itself is also a ritual for the dead or the dying. Those who are out of touch live in the clouds and...

    The day I watched "The Good Man in the Three Gorges" was cloudy. After watching the movie, I sat in my seat and calculated what was 30,000 divided by 200. My mood was still in the twilight. 150 days. Han Sanming will use the undetermined 150 days of life and death to welcome back his wife who does not know whether he will be able to return to his side. Life can be so absurd sometimes, you are inadvertently involved in the demolition of a huge project, and you watch the water level rise and...
